Let me tell you a story about a woman who stood up to the mob. (This is not an endorsement of anything she has said on social media, it's simply an observation on how she's been treated.)

I have to say, after your long and hard praise of the expanse, it is full of stroong women in position of leadership and I'm sick and tired of this narrative🤢🤢🤢 a red pilled Scotish guy like yourself is a blue pilled fool in Eastern Europe
Here are a couple of phrases that used to exist: "Agree to disagree" "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend your right to say it" I miss them.
@@chrish8111 Indeed. We're not meant to speak for ourselves, let alone think. So, just be a good little slave and eat it all up. I have a lot to say about this cruel existence, but alas, cannot utter a word lest I'll be be censored and removed from the face of the Earth. This is partly why I play video games all the time. Escapism feels like the only way to cope with reality.
The amazing thing is she is exactly what the kingdom proclaims to want: a strong woman. Physically and ideologically she stands up for herself. And she’s not fake. She’s a real fighter in the real world. But that’s her undoing: she is truly, authentically strong, without the kingdom’s control, not playing by the kingdom’s rules. And that’s a no-no. She’s outside the kingdom narrative, and so she must be destroyed. But she won’t be destroyed, because she has the most powerful thing of all: a mind of her own.
It baffles me that people like her exist and fit the role of “strong, likable, female character” perfectly, yet somehow everyone claiming to actually want one, gets pissed when one actually shows up. Fucking hypocrites.
Non-fans couldn't get her fired even though they tried. Mention the holocaust however, not even in like a bad way, and it's game over. I wonder why that is?
It's disgusting, you make comment on social media that someone finds offensive, you lose your job. You abuse your spouse, falsely claim you are victim and go on a media campaign to ruin your victim's life and no one says a word. I despair for this world
@@SouthpawSatch if you felt the same about Brie Larson, then cool. Personally, I won't give Ms Larson a second of my time or a dime of my money. If you supported boycotting Ms Larson, then you're being inconsistent to behave differently for Ms Carana. And yes I think Amber Heard should be fired and I won't be going to see any movies she's in either. But the circumstances are different. Ms heard appears to be a violent psychopath who lied in court. Ms Larson and Ms Carana both said stupid things offensive to a large portion of the mass Market.
@@horace6851 have you seen Haywire? she's pretty good in that. i think she was just poorly directed in mandalorian. Even in the mandalorian, she played a very convincing bad ass.
@@joenoneofyourbusiness6487 yes, as long as she doesn't talk she is great. You can tell she feels comfortable in action scenes and there she is convincing.
The right: i hate snowflakes The right when they get banned off private platforms for violating they're terms of service:waa waa conservatives are discriminated against
@@thatoneguy9169 man you have got to be brain dead to even suggest it’s about the terms of service anymore it’s about mob rule and authority over someone else’s thoughts. Don’t think too hard about it you might tire yourself out
@@bvilleD That's crazy, because Critical Drinker & Doomcock post videos every few weeks claiming Disney is about to bring her back. You'd think that after a year lying, they'd be proven right. HAHAHAHA
@@keitht24 And you're always hate-watching their content although you disagree with it, only to troll the comment sections?! Trump is probably still living rent-free in your head as well, doesn't he?! Get a life, snowflake... 😆 😅 😂 🤣
Can you imagine if someone made a movie and thanked the Nazi holocaust camps? They would be canceled immediately but Disney does essentially the same thing and gets away with it
I’m pretty sure it was Shikamru that said he prefers a girl with some meat on her bones, and not a skinny prude obsessed with staying slim. Simce I completely agree with that mindset, Gina’s muscles and larger build would definitely be an improvement over all these twigs in superhero costumes
If Hollywood ever wanted a truly strong female actress/character who is more than capable of holding her own with the boys, then they royally fucked up when they ousted Gina Carano.
@@anthonyugarte1072 Is it denial or saying the cure is worse than the disease? And you’re defending a company that thanked a dictatorship openly persecuting minorities. Which is worse?
@@1vaultdweller its called a country of weak men , those who dont have a working moral compass, and men who are cowards who dont stand up for rightous. This was all created because everyone left God out, forgetting what man is without his help.
Honestly, this was told in such a fantastic way, I wouldn't mind seeing it animated, and depicting the Drinker as a tavern drunk in medieval times telling this epic tale of triumph and tragedy. Dang though, if only it could just be in medieval times and not happening in this day and age.
Disney: **Fires Gina for an actually disturbingly based Holocaust comparison.** Also Disney: **Films live action Mulan at a literal Concentration Camp.**
Disney: We can't support someone who makes light of the holocaust. Also Disney: We're gonna pretend we don't see the Muslim camps in China as we continue to take their money.
@@SkinPeeleR just because walt refused to hire a bunch of people with literally zero animation skills to be animators doesn't not make him antisemitic.
@@evan08rhys09 Yes. They thanked the propaganda department of the Chinese Communist Party (who’s in charge of operating those camps) for letting them filmed in Xinjiang. It was so bad that people in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Thailand banded together to cancel this movie.
There's a saying in Telugu language "Pichodi chetilo rayi" which literally translates to "stone in the hands of an insane person". Social media in the hands of wokes, SJW, drama queens is exactly this.
This is what needs to be pushed into the spotlight. Make Disney live up to its own book of rules. They refuse to fire Kennedy because ovaries, call them out over firing Carano despite ovaries. I don't agree with the rule, but it was Disney that made it.
@@ehellstrom7127 I guess you haven’t heard. Kathleen’s contract is up as president later this year. I never thought I would be saying those words out loud.
Being a strong woman doesn't magically make you exempt from criticism. She was strong in the same way Trump was - too reckless and hot-blooded for her own good.
I can't believe for a year now after not looking into this (because I typically don't care about Twitter drama) I was told she was a holocaust denier and I just simply said "oh ok" and reluctantly agreed without doing any prior research. I feel so bad for her, truly one of the best actress' not in performance but in heart, I know people have said this already but people should genuinely look to women like her instead of Brie Larson. Not even joking right now after seeing exactly what she said and hearing about her story I not only feel I've learned a valuable lesson but also I feel inspired by her story. That valuable lesson being perspective and a small amount of research matters a hell of a lot more then the blind dogmatic view of an individual. Also I'm very inspired (not to do ufc or acting xD) but to become more healthy and stronger and work for your goals no matter what people may think in terms of how achievable they are. Disney lost an amazing actress.
the best part is that post dosnt deny the holocaust, but actually tries to show a very important aspect of how it happened. so the irony is that she was more cultured than those who called her uncultured
Thank you for telling this tale. I've seen her in C&C, F&F6, Deadpool. But I had no idea her name, nor the beliefs she held, stood for, and fought for. I'm NOT a conservative, but I fully respect this woman, and I hope time will be kind to her and her family. I hope she gets a much better job than under the disgusting Kathleen Kennedy.
that's just it though, as far as i know she has never expressed a single actual conservative belief at least at the time of her canceling. really the only thing she did..was not allow herself be bullied into doing something. thats it. and that ofc was not allowable. which is why its so fucking easy for anyone that isnt part of the loony bin to support her. she is pretty damn apolitical, kind and generous to all...and just wont be bullied. all things that well for people who are not part of the psycho mob, are good things worth defending and appreciating. good times we live in
I realize it's much later, but if you can find it, check out Haywire from 2011. It's far from her best work, and I think they dubbed her voice, but the fights really good. Especially her and Michael Fassbender... actually come to think of it, I'm pretty sure Ewan McGregor is in it. Weird.
Hm. After Star Wars, Dr Who.... and one more video I can't put my finger on now. Anyway, the best one was at ending of Predator "Go away.... anytime...."
@I spray water for CASH I think that if America went to war tomorrow it would almost definitely be to overthrow yet another democratically elected government or to secure oil, as they have done for decades.
It is a vacuous statement and an empty sentiment. Hitler had enemies Good "That means he stood for something, sometime in his life." Stalin had enemies Good "That means he stood for something, sometime in his life." Blair had enemies Good "That means he stood for something, sometime in his life." Pol Pot had enemies Good "That means he stood for something, sometime in his life." Sadam had enemies Good "That means he stood for something, sometime in his life." Madoff had enemies Good "That means he stood for something, sometime in his life." We could go on and on.
"We want to inspire little girls to become strong and independent women," said Disney, while having their hands full with firing strong and independent women for being strong and independent...
@@sonorous8028 if you’re not part of the cult, you won’t keep your job for very long. Good for her, the third season is going to be garbage anyway and I won’t watch it, no have I paid for Disney in the first place. I never will pay for Disney either. It’s half a grain of sand to their budget, but I won’t contribute to the enemy.
@@unfitcrit She's a multimillionaire who transitioned from fighting to acting, on to become one of the most popular characters on a hit TV show, and you're just some tool whose gullible enough to still think socialism is a good idea, so I dont think you've really got much to talk about in the brains department, lol.
@@jamesgatz5301 Its really more of a religion, and/or 1984ish. She showed she was a heretical badthinker, no doubt all the duckspeakers want her in the ministry of truth, or even ministry of love now.
@@pete3011 LOL dude cope some more. Next time you want to idolize a right-wing "free speech warrior" at least make sure she can act and/or fight. I followed Gina throughout both careers, she's trash at both.
"think for themselves" = Downplaying the holocaust? Like fuck me, Im not a fan of cancel culture, but why do people continue to be so retarded that they gotta say shit like that. Makes it hard to defend them.
Yes, not comparing Republicans on Twitter to fucking Holocaust victims. Are you saying it’s OK to believe that and that Disney should endorse her views?
Well, she compared the systematic murder of 6 million people, who were murdered for the heritage they cant choose, to people being told they are assholes for haveing asshole opinions. I mean she can think for herself. But if thats the conclusion she arrives at after thinking, well maybe her train of thought is questionable? Freedom of speech is does not mean others have to give you a platform.
When this happened I knew someone who believed what happened to her was right; believed that they'd read her tweets and they were "that" bad. I read what I could find, I never saw anything that seemed racist at all. Firing her for a personal opinion stated on her own time using her own resources was wrong. As for my acquaintance - well, turned out she's kind of a control freak.
When she kept comparing the MAGA movement to victims of the holocaust, is what turned people off. She deleted a lot of her comments after. I don't think she should have been fired for it, but Disney frankly didn't want to deal with the backlash. I have also been hearing there was budgeting and internal issues as to why she was fired, and it wasn't that much about her tweets after all.
@@theawkwardskeleton6608 So what? Yeah, she has her flaws, and she's openly stupid in a lot of cases. But in everything this video touches upon, she deserves some friggin' respect.
@@Cadoo93 Disney is a private business. They have authority to hire and fire, whether you agree or disagree with their standards. To cry “cancel culture” is the real hypocrisy when many of the same people defending Gina want Amber fired. I dislike Amber and believe she should be fired, but I also believe Gina is as fireable. Disney made its choice, and I have my opinion.
I've played this for my 2 young daughters a few times during 'bedtime story hour'. The first time was my doing, the times thereafter their asking for it. Thank you Critical🙏🤘
@@mrrobovter4535 Right.. Because hiring people that insult your core-audience and alienating them with terrible story-writing is a sign of immense intellectual capacity that knows no bounds! Hahaha, man, you people crack me up xD.
We're living in era of soibois... Gina certainly seems to have more testosterone than average Californian male :P Aaaand - I guess most men with fine level of it consider Gina more attractive than Brie
When its 10 years from now and the mutilated corpse once known as star wars is no longer generating revenue because there main fanbase was pushed to the side in favor of the woke nonfans who enjoyed baby yoda
The problem is, these non-fans can form a mob at any door and any time, on top of that, they can boycott apparently any company as well, and the reaction of the populist movent is really weak against this totalitarian mob.
421😫felt so good liking it, and your making a good point I hate these people each and every one of them should be sent to a gulag and stay there for a week so they can realise that not everyone are that privilege to have their biggest problem being a women having different beliefs than them
One of the rare times they actually hired a woman that you could believe could beat the shit out of male soldiers, instead of some skinny 25yr old model that does yoga on the weekends.
same, just because they seem to get their act together for a season or two doesn't mean I trust them with my money. had they got rid of the cesspool they call leadership and openly distanced themselves from the angry censorship mob I'd have considered it, but this just strengthens the notion that they have no clue about anything and that these two seasons were the exception. watch them go after favreau and filoni next as to not show fans what sw could be and push out their clue- and planless agenda ridden bullshit again. get ready for a whole load of dung being flung our way over the next time...
Seen on reddit: "Lol remember when Disney shrunk down Jon boyega on the Chinese version of the force awakens poster" "And filmed in the location where they keep the Uyghurs in camps..." "And thanked the fucking CCP in the credits!"
@@DarkVitamins It’s funny that Disney sides with at least directly on paper a communist regime that is pro liquidating a series of native tribes in China and what I would describe extreme police brutality in Hong Kong complete with stories of organ harvesting from criminals And then Disney fires a woman over her tweet saying hey maybe the government and corporations are stirring a bit too much hate and resembling the old nazi party
I remember Donald Duck in a nazi uniform pretending to be hitler. Should we cancel disney? Donald Duck Nazi Episode with Prologue Speech (der Fuehrer's Face 1943) - RU-vid
@@Carabas72 What did you want her to do? Storm the company beating everyone's ass and throw Bob out the window? She lost, and she had no power to fight back against it. Quite honorable to wage a senseless struggle when there's literally no way to reverse their decision without resorting to violence. Maybe cry about it on social media but what would that accomplish? Nothing. It was over, you don't throw one last push after the ref has declared the winner.
@@leoncoben6983 No, I am perfectly fine with her just passively accepting it, and good riddance too. Although she did literally cry about it on... I want to say Breitbart, but I'm not 100% sure and I can't be bothered to look it up. I just wish her fans could finally move on as well and stop spamming every Star Wars relatede channel with calls to bring her back. It's been what? Two years? Get over it already.
I didn't really see what was right about her comments, she didn't have to be fired for them, but she didn't fight for anything. She made extremist comments, then moved on after being fired.
Did you see what she said?? If I was a part of Disney at the time I wouldn't want one of my lead actresses sharing an opinion that would come off as very horrible and controversial
@@andyfranklin1213 -- When did she do those things? She used a *historical fact* to draw a parallel with the leftist mobs that have infested social media and the Nazi ideology that infested Germany to show that a corrupting ideology causes people who aren't in the 'correct' party to attack the 'correct' party's enemies.
@@foxp2483 She took it to an extreme, she wasn't wrong but she turnt it up a notch and compared the slaughter of millions to a few bad looks here and there, either way, she shouldn't have been fired for it because the basic concept was right
I woke up to these news this morning and it upset me a lot, not because of some pop culture fandom or whatever, but because of the implications this has with the current mob mentality.
So many people saying "She should have just deactivated Twitter and stayed silent". No. Gina Carano refused to back down, refused to change her mind, refused to mince words. She will always have my respect. #WeLoveGinaCarano
And refuse to be employed in Hollywood... You can't go again the grain and expect to keep your job. She'll be back fightingi. The ring to put food on the table in no time.. Her acting career is over.
Frankly I could care less about what anyone in the entertainment business believes. I am not a flaming liberal and though I disagree with her views, I do not think she should have been fired for being a right winger-that’s her opinion. I think the people that attacked her online were petty and nasty, cannot blame her for getting defensive. Was there ever a time when people were allowed to have different views without being bashed by one side or another? I like your site and agree the majority of your views, especially about Hollywood and the entertainment industry as a whole.
I know this video is 3 years but thanks for making it. Dont.usually care what happens to Hollywood actors but I was heartbroken when Gina was fired. Hope she makes her way back
Welcome to the Club. I've been anti-Disney for 20 years. If you really want to hate them, look into the "yellow dress" story, or just any of the rampant sexual subliminals they have fed to children since ol' Walt first drew Mickey. How about the Disney/ABC/Epstein connection? Oh my...there's SO MUCH to hate them for.
Deleted my Twitter last year and it's made stories about just how big of a dumpster fire it all is much funnier. However, Facebook has been more difficult to sever all ties from because I unfortunately still need to use it to keep in touch with certain ppl. My usage has dropped significantly still though and I hope a better alternative comes around soon. :P
I like your reviews and critiques, and most of what you point out is absolutely spot on, but there is extreme irony in constantly complaining about the injection of politics into entertainment while you constantly inject politics into your own broadcasts. Gina Carano's comments were both disgusting and absolutely untrue. Why are you defending her nonsensical garbage? Lucasfilms had every right to fire her, and she deserves the scorn she got for what she said.
More Like: Gina Carano: Jews being murdered by the millions just for existing is exactly like "conservatives" receiving criticism when they say things that are offensive. Disney: What in the actual fuck?
@@raitchison 4 years of the former president has convinced millions that as long as they don't say it literally, it's ok. It's clear everyone else is getting sick of that shit though. She dodged a Bullet last year when she went anti-mask and voter-fraud, Jon Favreau helped her out but she just couldn't reign it in. Fuck around and find out I guess...
Just trying to see the silver lining like I know she will be. She won't be sulking, she'll be walking around with her head held high. She knows she's on the right side of history and that's all you can do
@@anthonyugarte1072 She never denied COVID existed. She merely questioned how effective masks really are, which is a fair question, since the government refuses to give us a straight answer for their effectiveness. Sit down.
@@anthonyugarte1072 you mean "scamdemic" and those 2.35 million canceled people would like to have a word with you lefties and your culture of hate and death.
Context. it's because of the context. Fucking hell, people. She's a garbage actor and, despite what you may have heard, being a minor celeb on Trumpanzee subreddits isn't enough of a qualification for most of us to want to put up with her.
Very cute script for this video, but this is not some sweeping tale of good and evil. Gina Carano's great at what she does, but she said stupid shit. Worse, she said stupid shit to the whole world. Disney doesn't have values, they didn't give a fuck what she said. They just cared that more of the world didn't like what she said than did like it, and their suits determined this would cost them .0004% in revenue so they fired her. The only moral of this story is: You're responsible for what you say, so deal with the criticism, and never forget that your boss only gives a fuck about you while you're making them money. Also, try not to say stupid shit.
Your stuff is always great, and well worth the watch whether I happen to agree with your review or not. I really enjoy this channel, and I only underscore that so my next statement lands properly. This is on a different level, in a number of different ways. Entertaining and clever while making a point that deserves to be made without droning on. Bravo. It's one thing to eviscerate the Hollywood hive mind, it's another entirely to outperform them in their own arena.
Picture this: Its 10 years from now and the mutilated corpse once known as star wars is no longer generating revenue because their main fanbase was pushed to the side in favor of the woke nonfans who enjoyed baby yoda
baby yoda isn't going to save them, baby yoda just bought them some time to put the house in order. Disney failed monumental. Im not sure that survival is even still an option.
@@JohnSmith-cn4cw - They'd might have better success rebooting Earth Star Voyager than Star Wars at this point. As long as they get Kevin Feige to head it up and not any of the top jokers from the Lucas Film division.
(This is not an endorsement of anything she has said on social media, it's simply an observation on how she's been treated.) i guess we all have to protect ourselves even if its something we dont agree with, eh?
Disney: “We need a strong empowered woman who doesn’t take shit from anyone” *Strong empowered woman stands up to establishment* Disney: “No, not like that”
@Winter Green - I didn’t say that at all. I’m simply saying that they wanted to fire her for whatever reason before that tweet. I don’t care what she said honestly. She’s an adult, an American and is entitled to free speech, regardless of if anyone agrees or not.
Spreading conspiracy theories and anti-science bullshit is "standing up to the establishment"? Or equatiing yourself to a holocaust victim for suffering the consequences of saying dumb shit publicly?
@@GG-zf9vy She did literally none of those things you dumb asshat. Actually read her posts. All she said was we need stronger election security. That is truth. She said she doesn't like masks. That's her opinion. She doesn't trust a vaccine that was created in the same year as the virus came out. That's her opinion. Saying the democrats are acting like nazis is her opinion and frankly, the democrats use that comparison against republicans all the time, but now it's only a problem when the argument is flipped against them. So yes, her opinions are anti establishment and they fired her for it.
@@IRDANIMAL Right! Like if they actually read these things and comprehended it, they'd actually understand what Gina was trying to say instead of just assuming she was a racist/bigot/offensive. Like people nowadays aren't willing to listen and understand, they just want to point fingers at situations like this.
@UCghw-lMNbyNI06nhYxzj7wA Does no one here remember Charlottesville, where Trump supporters were chanting "Jews will not replace us"? or the Trump supporters wearing "Camp Auswitch" hoodies during the capitol riot? Honestly, the audacity of cons trying to say they're being persecuted like Jews while being the party of antisemitism is mind blowing. Take a good hard look at your own party before trying to act like a victim.
@Dan M the fact that your so comfortable calling all trump supporters racist is proof that she’s right. It’s fucking insane how normalized and encouraged it is to hate our neighbors-and you all get to feel justified and pat yourself on the back because you fed into the lie.
@@wallywest8390 I can’t say all trump followers are racist but they sure are comfortable with racism. The thing is, supporting a shit bag like Trump tends to be a package deal and there’s no way of picking out the “good parts” especially after the January 6th insurrection. It’s a bit difficult to take Gina’s point at face value when she has a history of propagating right wing bullshit lies and/or conspiracies. It’s also hard to give any Trump follower even a shred of credit considering what has transpired over the last 4 shitty years.
I must admit, I fell for this shit at the time, being only exposed to press title 'exposing' an actress being fired for racism and not digging into the subject to know more about it (for I didn't really care about it). And even at the time I was still reluctant about the idea of someone being fired of a role for her believes, even questionnable ones. Thank you for putting things right into place !
